Hello Everyone!
I am new to both PHP and JQuery, and I am running into conflict over
which language is right for which task.
For instance:
I have a simple content management system (PHP) which allows
administrators to add and update stories with a textarea form.
I then use PHP to retrieve the input from the textarea, find the new
line breaks and convert them to <p></p> tags. It works.
I then use the JQuery selector $('#slide div p:first').addClass
('noIndent') to take indenting off the first paragraph of each story
where #slide and div are both hard-coded into the HTML, but the p is
generated by PHP.
It doesn't work. Is it my syntax, or do I really have to use PHP to
generate the classes too? Or do I need to back it up and use JQuery
instead to output the <p></p> tags?
I appreciate any effort to clarify this matter, and in the process,
could you give me some simple guidelines of where you draw the line
between PHP and JQuery?
Thanks for your time!
Arlen
